"Good morning, everyone so we are now gathered here to go to the university for the  first-aid training and you're chosen to be with us." Doc. Almira said.

Ken, Charity and I were just lining standing waiting to get inside the van para pumunta sa nasabing paaralan.

"Congratulations..." Our Head Nurse Evan said.

Congratulations daw. Eh akala ko day off ko ngayon tapos nandito papala ako magtatrabaho para sa first aid training na 'to. Nakahinga lang ako ng mabuti dahil feel ko hindi naman sasama si Zaiden kaya safe.

Inayos ko muna iyong bun ko atsaka pinauna na muna ang lahat para mag volunteer na sa unahan na umupo ng van banda.

"Miss, you can go inside already." I smiled sa driver ng siya na ang sisirado ng pinto.

Only when I halted... Kung sino iyong katabi ko!

I saw how wide Felix smiled at the back ng makita iyong reaction ko! He waved his hand at me.

"Don't be shy, Leen. Just sit already. It's just Zaiden." Sabi niya na puno ng panunuyo iyong boses niya!

Napapikit ako ng mariin atsaka umupo na sa gilid ng lalaki... Na hindi ko kilala na 'to!

Pinigilan ko lang umirap. He shifted on his weight comfortably. And it's so damn... Awkward! I'm trying my best not to move na para bang naka estatwa lang ako do'on sa kinauupuan ko.

Minsan napabaling ako sa likuran only to see Felix grinning at me. And I just gave him a fake smile. We're traveling for 4 hours for God sake! And hindi pa gusto ng sikmura ko iyong freshener ng sasakyan.

Maingat akong may hinalukat sa bag ko. Dahil nakapikit si Zaiden nakakahiya naman 'tong si Stranger kung ma-istorbo ko.

I looked for some candies, but I found none! So I just leaned on my chair once again. I scrunched my nose and put my index finger near my nose to sniff it. Para matabunan iyong freshener na pumapasok sa ilong ko.

"Here...." Napa-baling ako sa direksiyon niya ng makita ko siyang seryoso at nilahad sakin iyong candies.

I cleared my throat. "T-Thanks..."

I heard some chuckled from the back. At hindi na ako nagulat kong sino iyon. Tulog na ang lahat pero si Felix sa likuran ay ngisi ng ngisi na para bang may nakakatawa!

After Doc. Almira introduced us. She gestured on Zaiden to say something. Doc. Almira together with Zaiden and Ryle were the doctors people always looked up into. Even Doc. Almira is now married and in mid fifthies she's still working. She is really passionate on her job.

Zaiden started to demonstrate and illustrate some of related to medical things. He explained how to deal with accidents. Kung paano kargahin ng tama iyong mga pasyente. And he even demonstrate and said some techniques.

"So before it's very important for us to learn the basics first," Zaiden said.

As when we positioned ourselves to impersonate how to do the proper way of CPR. I was partnered with Ken. He kneeled on front of me positioning the other way of CPR. He pinched a bit of my nose as he held my cheeks forming an 'o' so he can gave me some air. When Zaiden stopped us.

"You're doing it in a wrong way, nurse Ken." He said and hurriedly came to Ken's direction.

Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko! I felt like I was paralyzed when he did it instead! I can feel my cheeks burning as he positioned himself on my lips to gave me some air!

Parang hihimatyin naman ako sa kaba!

He slowly looked at me with intense stare. After. Gano'on din ang pinakita niya kay Ken.
